A select committee may be permanent or temporary (all current select committees in the House and Senate are considered permanent committees). Instead of select, the Senate sometimes uses the term special committee (as in the Special Committee on Aging).
The name Adama is of Hebrew origin. The meaning of Adama is man from the red earth. Adama is generally used as a girl's name. It consists of 5 letters and 3 syllables and is pronounced A-da-ma.
It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew ××× ('adam) meaning to be red, referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning to make. According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew ×Ö²×Ö¸×Ö¸× ('adamah) earth).
